CSA Haul

CSA 2010 Week 12

Today’s haul was: garlic, green beans, zucchini, tomatoes, cabbage, lettuce, cucumbers, a red pepper, and eggplant. Still nothing revolutionary to report prep-wise. We’ve been going with quick and easy veggie sides. This weekend, I managed to score the above: a five pound box of organic wild Maine blueberries. I have the last batch going through […]

CSA 2010 Week 11

Today’s haul (mostly destined for the grill): celery, eggplant, zucchini, pattypan squash, tomatoes, cucumber, tomatoes, garlic, and new potatoes. Nothing new or revolutionary to report on the cooking front – it’s been all grill or basic prep. This week’s is coming up to my father’s with me for further consideration.

CSA 2010 Week 10

My post is a bit late (late summer company-associated craziness), but CSA pick up was in fact on time. This week’s haul was: baby bok choy, broccoli, tomatoes, patty pan squash, red peppers, cucumbers, and cabbage. Nothing particularly revolutionary preparation-wise this week. I did do a lovely Roasted-Summer Vegetables over pasta from Serving Up the

CSA 2010 Week 9

This week’s haul included: cucumbers, turnips, green beans, red peppers, pattypan squash, tomato, frisee and some adorable baby fennel. About the only new and different thing I did with last week’s haul was a frittata. I’ll have to claim an Epicurious recipe as my inspiration, as it contained parsley, zucchini (I subbed a pattypan squash),

CSA 2010 Week 8

We received: cucumbers, cabbage, radishes, pattypan squash, tomatoes, new potatoes, Swiss chard, parsley, and the loveliest looking baby carrots I’ve seen in a long while. I’m not sure what I’ll be making yet with this, but I know it’ll be delicious. Nothing new to report from last week, except that I can confirm that roasted

CSA 2010 Week 7

First, for last week, other than salad, the only interesting dish I can claim to making was Garlicky Kale with New Potatoes. The potatoes were fabulous – just so lovely and creamy. Unfortunately, last week’s kale was a rather stemmy variety, so while the leafy part was delicious, despite my best efforts, there were some

CSA 2010 Week 6

Today’s haul was kale (two bunches), turnips, a pepper, new potatoes (!), mesclun, and a whole pound of eggplant. There were actually tomatoes available, but they were pretty well gone by, so I opted for the eggplant instead. I don’t really have any interesting to report from last week. We had company for a good

CSA 2010 Week 5

This week’s haul was lettuce, frisee, green peppers, scallions, shell peas, baby bok choy, Swiss chard, and turnips. I also grabbed eggs, and some locally made jack cheese. The shell peas are already shelled, and in a bowl, available for snacking. The lettuce, frisee, and some of the baby bok choy are in the gigantic

CSA 2010 Week 4

So far, we’ve enjoyed some great salad; I love their mesclun mix. It’s easily the best lettuce mix I’ve ever tasted. It’s just the right amount of peppery mixed with the green. One quart of the berries is already curing in the freezer (started on a cookie sheet for hopefully ease of separation down the

CSA 2010 Week 3

It’s been a busy week, so the CSA post is a bit late. First, to round out last week: The roasted radishes and turnips were wonderful. Roasting totally changed the flavor of the radishes, and the turnips were as good as I’d hoped they’d be. Since the roasting didn’t use the greens, I saved those
